Use of customized macro in CONTACT definition

[Deborah Martin]

Hi,

I'm trying to define a customized contact macro so that I can pass it to an event handler

My contact definition is :-

define contact{
        contact_name                    test-admin
        alias                           test-admin
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                           deborah.martin at kognitio.com<mailto:deborah.martin at kognitio.com>
        _EMAILID                 deborah.martin at kognitio.com<mailto:deborah.martin at kognitio.com>
        }

Then in my script test I just do echo "EMAILID=$NAGIOS__CONTACTEMAILID"

This doesn't work. But if I put the same customized macro into a service definition and change the test script to "EMAILID=$NAGIOS__SERVICEEMAILID"
it works fine.

According to the docs, I'm specifying this correctly. I'm using nagios 3.2.0 on SLES10.

So, am I doing something that should work and is a bug and if so is it fixed in a later nagios version or have I done something silly here...?

Thanks,
Deborah
